Abstract
The clustered chromatic number of a graph class is the minimum integer such that every graph has a -colouring where each monochromatic component in has bounded size. We study the clustered chromatic number of graph classes defined by excluding a graph as an odd-minor. How does the structure of relate to the clustered chromatic number of ? We adapt a proof method of Norin, Scott, Seymour and Wood (2019) to show that the clustered chromatic number of is tied to the tree-depth of .
